Former Members of Jackass and Sublime Throw A ‘Demolition Party’ In A Vacant Home In Filipinotown

[dropcap size=big]I[/dropcap]t was a quiet Sunday evening in Historic Filipinotown, and everything was closed down, but near the corner of Rosemont Avenue and Temple Boulevard, if you listened closely, you could hear live music. Down the street, in a small craftsman house that was recently sold and set for demolition, a band formed by the bassist of Sublime called Spray Allen, played an impromptu show hosted by Jackass star Bam Margera.

Inside the neon-lit, graffitied single-family home, mostly unmasked revelers demolished the house’s interior while Spray Allen played covers of Creedence Clearwater Revival and the Misfits. The atmosphere was dangerously fun. Axes and hatchets went through walls that people on the other side blindly stood next to, bats sent pieces of kitchen cabinet through the air, there was a massive hole in the ceiling exposing insulation, and the ground was covered in a carpet of sheetrock dust and rubble. Amazingly, nobody got seriously injured (except for a man that reportedly broke their hand), but by the end of the night, almost everybody was covered in a fine white powder.

The performance was reportedly staged for a music video shoot for the band. While mayhem ensued, Margera paced through the interior of the house at a dizzying pace while holding a phone that never seemed to stop recording while other camera operators collected footage. Margera told his more than 2 million fans on Instagram to meet him at the house earlier in the night. The Jackass star was recently ousted from the latest feature film in the franchise series, reportedly after falling off the wagon. At one point towards the end of the night, Margera took a moment to pose for a photo with a group of fans. “Say fentanyl,” someone said as others took pictures and selfies.
